American Association of Blacks in Energy

The American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) is a national association of energy professionals founded and dedicated to ensure the input of African Americans and other minorities into the discussions and developments of energy policies regulations, R&D technologies, and environmental issues. The purposes of AABE include: serving as a resource for policy discussion of the economic, social and political impact of environmental and energy policies on African Americans and other minorities; ensuring involvement of African Americans in governmental energy policymaking by recommending capable sensitive and informed personnel to appropriate officials; encouraging both the public and private sectors to be responsive to the problems, goals and aspirations of African Americans in energy-related fields; encouraging African American students to pursue careers in energy-related fields and to provide scholarships and other financial aid for such students.

No one in the energy efficiency space has the voice and reach that the Alliance does as a bipartisan, business-led coalition proving that efficiency is an economic opportunity delivering a huge return on investment and enormous environmental benefits.
